    Our food came out quickly. I'm glad we ate outside (pretty loud indoors). All the wait-staff, bartenders, and hostesses were very friendly. Both of us ordered the chicken panini - we agreed we could have split one (so much chicken/large size sandwiches). The flavor of the truffle fries was interesting...

    Fun atmosphere and gives a great upscale meets dive bar vibe. I dig it. I had the filet minion sliders and my bf had the chicken parm sandwich. Both were great and fine. I think that's why I gave this place 4 stars, the food was just fine. Like nothing really was like: wow! Service was wonderful, I believe Lindsey was her name, lovely!! Would come back and try something else but overall just nothing was like: this is a go-to place.

    Menu options plentiful! Fork and knife options, plenty of handhelds and salads. Service was super nice (Athena, you were gorgeous and efficient!) Bathrooms are clean, which is appreciated. Cocktails were really the standout here! Not necessarily original, but well done and thoughtful. Easy to book for dinner before a Blackhawks game. We shared a caprese salad and burger. Definitely enough food. Would for sure come again!

    As a self proclaimed Black Barrel regular- this was actually our first time sitting inside! It was incredibly loud (to be expected for a Saturday night), but the staff was as friendly and accommodating as they always are! The drinks are incredibly pricey. I get that it's West Loop, but WOW! My cocktail was $16! This has never bothered me before, because I feel like I typically pay for the outdoor ambience as much as I do my drink. Yet, inside, I just felt like I was in a regular bar! All in all, I will still continue to support Black Barrel, as I have nothing but good times here!
